Networks and traffic
SNAPguard runs the venue’s networks from one place, separates guest traffic from the venue’s own, and controls how much bandwidth each network takes.
When you'd use it
When setting up the guest and staff networks, keeping guest devices apart from the till and back office, and stopping a few guests saturating the line.
How it behaves
SNAPguard runs the venue’s networks from one place. A guest network and a staff network are kept separate, each with its own name and password, and can sit on their own VLAN. Device isolation stops guests on the network seeing each other. Network templates cover the common cases, such as guest Wi-Fi, staff Wi-Fi, or a network for cameras and IoT devices.
Traffic is controlled per network. You can cap the bandwidth the guest network takes, guarantee a floor, and allow short bursts, so a busy guest network never starves the till or the card machine. Application-level priority keeps the traffic that matters responsive.
Firewall rules control what each network can reach. SNAPguard can adopt the venue’s existing controllers, such as UniFi, Omada or Ruckus, so their access points come under the same management, and a network scan lists the devices connected so the team can see what is on each network.

- Bandwidth control
- Cap, guaranteed floor and burst limits per network.
- Traffic priority
- Application-level priority for the traffic that matters.

Good to know
Separating guest and staff traffic keeps the till and back office off the guest network.
Bandwidth caps stop a busy guest network starving payment and booking traffic.
SNAPguard can adopt existing controllers, so access points rarely need replacing.
